# Someone ate my *.db

    This is a strange situation for this strange question.
    I was mucking about with my Unix server... not moving anything at
    random, but just checking out my moo directory and considering moving
    from 1.7.X to 1.8.  Nothing serious.  I noticed that there was a version
    of my *.db, moise.db in both directories, but that the dates associated
    with them were March 16 and March 20 respectively.  But my Moo IS
    running!  When I ran ps -umoo, I was told that it was running and saving
    the db to moise.bd.new.  But I couldn't find it.

    I typed in find / -name 'moise.bd' -print and got nothing but these two
    oldies noted above.

    I shutdown the moo and looked for it.  No luck.

    Any ideas?  This is only a major catastrophy, not a terminal one, as
    this is not a production Moo, yet.  But I can't have this continuing
    when we open soon enough.

    TIA for all comments.

    Jason
